Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar until smooth.
Step 2: Pat dry 2 salmon fillets and spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each.
Step 3: Place the salmon on the baking sheet about 6 inches from the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized and the salmon flakes easily.
Step 4: While the salmon broils, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5: Add 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6: Add 4 cups baby spinach and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
Step 7: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds over the greens.
Step 8: Serve the broiled miso-glazed salmon alongside the sesame-ginger sautéed greens.
